About This Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the real-world range of your electric vehicle based on various factors that affect battery performance.
The EPA range is adjusted based on temperature, driving speed, climate control usage, and terrain to provide a more realistic expectation for your journey.
Range Impact Factors
- Cold Weather: Can reduce range by 20-40%
- High Speeds: Highway driving at 75+ mph can reduce range by 15-30%
- Climate Control: Heating in winter can use significant battery power
- Terrain: Mountainous driving requires more energy
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my EV range vary so much?
EV range varies due to multiple factors including temperature (battery chemistry is less efficient in cold weather), driving speed (aerodynamic drag increases exponentially with speed), climate control usage (heating/cooling draws power from the battery), driving style (aggressive acceleration reduces efficiency), and terrain (climbing hills requires more energy).
How can I maximize my EV's range?
To maximize your EV's range, drive at moderate speeds (55-65 mph), avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, use climate control sparingly (pre-condition the cabin while plugged in), maintain proper tire pressure, and reduce unnecessary weight in the vehicle.
